Princess Huaining quickly concealed the disgust in her eyes and held Su Qingcheng's hand affectionately: "We haven't seen you for a long time. Princess Yunan's complexion is getting better and better."

Su Qingcheng smiled: "Princess, good things are about to happen, she is the one who is more delicate than flowers."

She took off the golden begonia bead flower bracelet and put it on Princess Huaining's wrist.

"My prince got this bracelet from a Persian merchant. Although it is not as valuable as the princess's, it is better than the craftsman's ingenuity. I hope the princess won't dislike it."

There was a chill on her wrist. Princess Huaining lowered her head and saw an extra bracelet on her hand. The begonia flower was made of gold wire and its stamens were made of precious stones. They were indeed rare and good things.

The smile on her face grew stronger, and she held Su Qingcheng's hand and said, "It is said that King Yunan loves the princess very much, and it turns out so when we see her today."

Su Qingcheng smiled slightly and did not respond, as if she was embarrassed.

Princess Huaining gently touched the gems on the bracelet with her fingers, a look of contempt flashing in her eyes.

While the two were talking, a figure approached them.

Su Qingcheng raised her eyes, it was him, Xie Songjin.

Xie Songjin's skin color was light and pale, and there was an air of bookishness about him that could not be concealed. His slightly melancholy eyes lit up instantly when he saw Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng frowned and was about to avoid it when a tall figure appeared in front of her.

Ye Tantai protected her behind him, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with chills: "Mr. Xie, are you here to find Princess Huaining?"

Xie Songjin realized that he was a little abrupt and immediately looked away: "Yes."

Princess Huaining didn't seem to notice Xie Songjin's strange behavior. She looked over with a shy look and asked softly: "Are you here specifically to find me?"

Xie Songjin's eyes were indifferent and he said, "Father asked me to stop you from drinking."

"I think this is the Young Master of the Xie family. I have admired your name for a long time. My father often mentioned you to me, saying that the son of Uncle Xie's family is very talented. When I saw you today, it turned out to be true. You are really a good match for Princess Huaining."

Su Qingcheng looked at Xie Songjin calmly.

Xie Songjin raised his eyes with burning eyes and said, "We often saw each other when we were children."

Su Qingcheng didn't know how to reply to his inexplicable words, but it seemed that her greeting just now was deliberately drawing a clear line with him.

But in Su Qingcheng's memory, the two of them had only met a few times when they were children, so they couldn't really be called acquaintances.

Princess Huaining became interested and asked curiously: "Oh? Did you two know each other when you were children?"

Su Qingcheng said calmly: "Uncle Xie and my father are family friends, and Mr. Xie has a good relationship with my brother. We only met a few times by chance." When talking about his brother, Su Qingcheng's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, which was fleeting.

Xie Songjin's eyes darkened.

Princess Huaining couldn't help but ask: "Then tell me what happened when he was a child. I asked him and he didn't even tell me. Has he liked other little girls before?"

Just as Su Qingcheng was about to speak, Xie Songjin glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and said first, "I had a crush on the neighbor's little sister when I was a child. It happened in childhood and is not worth mentioning."

Princess Huaining did not give up. She looked at Xie Songjin with pretense and said, "What about now? Where did the neighbor's little sister go?"

Xie Songjin looked away from Su Qingcheng, his eyes dimmed and there was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in his eyes.

"Already married as a wife."

Princess Huaining then gave up and asked no more questions. She turned to Su Qingcheng and said, "We have to go to our mother and concubine to say hello, so we'll leave first."

Su Qingcheng smiled and nodded.

After the two left, an imperceptible emotion flashed in Su Qingcheng's eyes.

Princess Huaining was born in the palace and did not know that the Xie Mansion was located at the end of the bustling Fenglin Lane, with only one neighbor, and that house belonged to the Su family.

When I was a child, the Su Mansion was flooded once, and the family moved into the house on Maple Grove Lane during a few days of renovation.

Su Qingcheng recalled the way Xie Songjin looked at her just now, which was really not innocent.

Fortunately, Princess Huaining had her back turned to Xie Songjin and didn't notice, otherwise she didn't know what trouble would happen again.

"Your Majesty..." Su Qingcheng turned around and wanted to tell the hero Ye that she was going to find her father, but there was no one behind her.

Su Qingcheng whispered: "Why did you leave so suddenly without telling me."

Wuya, who was pretending to be a maid, ate a round and returned to Su Qingcheng. She said incoherently: "How... have you found Princess Huaining's pulse?"

Su Qingcheng said coldly: "Well, although the pulse is weak and unstable, I did feel the happy pulse."

It was only one month since the incident in the back garden that day. It stands to reason that even if Princess Huaining was indeed pregnant, she would not be able to detect her pulse.

While Su Qingcheng was putting a bracelet on Princess Huaining, she secretly pricked her wrist with a gold needle in a hairpin. Because the gold needle was made of special material and was extremely thin, Princess Huaining did not notice it.

"What should we do? Can those old people in the palace be freed?" Wu Ya asked worriedly.

Su Qingcheng took off the earrings and opened them. He looked at the white powder inside and hesitated for a moment: "It's possible according to my method, but..."

It’s just that Princess Huaining’s child may not be saved.

She had already reduced the dose when she made the medicinal powder last night, but Princess Huaining's special constitution made it difficult to conceive, and the child's pulse was extremely unstable.

Although Su Qingcheng hated Princess Huaining deeply, the child was innocent, and she was unwilling to do anything to an unformed child. This was a mother's insistence.

She shook her head and sighed: "It seems we have to change the method. Last time I saw red flowers in the back garden, you can quietly pick a few and grind the stamens into powder."

"it is good."

After Wu Ya left, Su Qingcheng looked for Su Qingcang in the crowd, who was talking to Dad Xie.

"Daddy."

Su Qingcheng walked towards Su Qingcang in small steps, with her hands folded squarely on her chest, her long skirt fluttering with her steps, her movements were very natural, and every step she took was quite beautiful, pleasing to the eye and at the same time majestic and steady.

Mrs. Xie's eyes lit up next to Xie Dai.

She had heard that the Miss Su family was the apple of Su Qingcang's eye, and she felt that she must be a spoiled young lady with no rules, so she did not want to mention the engagement she made when she was a child. When Su Qingcheng married King Yu Nan, she was secretly relieved. Take a breath.

When I saw her today, none of the princesses who had experienced the strict teachings of their nuns in the palace since childhood could walk in such a beautiful and temperamental way.

Su Qingcang smiled happily: "Brother Xie, this is my daughter Su Qingcheng."

Su Qingcheng smiled gently: "I've met Uncle Xie and Auntie Xie."

Su Ruoxi, who was behind Su Qingcang, put on extremely thick rouge and gouache in order to shine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and also wore a bright red skirt with green patterns.

She is not suitable for such bright colors, and she also wears a gold hairpin that is not suitable for her age. At first glance, she looks a bit nondescript and weird.

In comparison, Su Qingcheng's temperament was even more extraordinary.

"Has the child grown so big? Songjin and I were still on the battlefield when she got married. That kid was very sad when he heard about Qingcheng's wedding!"

Xie Dai just regarded everyone as his own family and drank some wine and talked more casually.

Mrs. Xie frowned and immediately took over: "Look what you said, Qingcheng is now Princess Yunan, and Songjin is about to get married. The two children are so old and you are still joking."
